Lizzo Unveils New Single & Video “Don’t Make Me Love U”

GRAMMY® & Emmy Award-winning superstar singer, songwriter, rapper, instrumentalist, and actress Lizzo has released a new track and video, “Don’t Make Me Love U”. The anthemic ballad, produced by longtime collaborator Ricky Reed & Cheche Alara, kicks off Lizzo’s new musical era.

The video, directed by Tanner K Williams and shot by Bentley Rawle, gives a surreal and visually striking look into a familiar relationship of grappling with your past-self, reflecting and eventually evolving through learning and growth. It’s as cinematic and sincere as it is satirical as told through a cerebral lens of Lizzo and Lizzy, her alter ego.

Lizzo also recently announced the upcoming release of her first ever children’s book Lil Lizzo Meets Sasha B. Flootin’, coming to bookshelves all over on September 8th, 2026. Published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, the story tells the tale of a bubbly little girl who just wants to belong meeting a smart and brassy flute who can’t find her tune, winding up on a wild adventure to places filled with incredible sounds.
